Excellent product and quantity by comparison for the price. Kirkland Signature made the list of verified olive oils per a (2010) U.C. Davis Research Project. Most Olive Oils are laced with cheaper, low quality oils. The U.C. Davis research seems to have pulled from the Internet as I was intending to provide a link. This list from that report that I found elsewhere though is useful:

The brands that failed to meet the extra virgin olive oil standards, according to this study: Bertolli, Carapelli, Colavita, Star, Pompeian. Eat Grown Local also reports: Filippo Berio, Mazzola, Mezzetta, Newman's Own, Safeway, and Whole Foods.

The real deal: California Olive Ranch, Cobram Estate, Lucini. Kirkland Organic, Lucero (Ascolano), McEvoy Ranch Organic are also noted by Eat Grown Local.

After reading about so many olive oils having other oils added to them (i.e. vegetable oil) and wanting to go more organic, I decided to purchase Kirkland's organic based on the reviews. I have not been disappointed. As soon as I received it, I did a taste comparison with Kirkland's to my store-bought brand - wow what a difference! Kirkland's is fruity, fresh and delicious while the store-bought was very bland and did not even taste like olive oil after tasting Kirklands. I did not know what I was missing. This is the only olive oil I will buy from now on. To me this olive oil is great for sauteing, marinating, vinaigrettes, or just drizzling over greens. I do a lot of cooking, purchased this in January and still have not gone through it all. I feel the price is reasonable and definitely worth it for the quality and the amount.

Happily surprised -- now if only I could find a great-tasting balsamic vinegar at such a nice price to pair with it!

My primary uses of EVOO are as a dressing for salads & a finishing oil for other dishes. I use higher-heat oils for veggie-roasting, stir-frying & baking. I don't cook or bake with olive oil, so my search has been for an affordable oil I can enjoy straight from the bottle at mild room temperature. (Edit: Haha, that sounds like I bypass using it on food & just chug it!) I'm hours away from sellers of more olive oils that what I find in the local supermarket. I was hesitant to purchase such a large quantity without being able to sample it first, but that was the only way to experiment with this one.

The price for this volume of a good-tasting oil can't be beat. It's true that the color & the taste don't match some of the expensive oils I've been lucky enough to try, but that's not what matters to me. This EVOO gives me the combo of enjoyable taste & affordability that I've been seeking.

It would be a double-win to find a delicious, thick balsamic vinegar at an equally great price. Recommendations are much appreciated!

I didn't think about the consequences of ordering a liquid product during a serious cold snap, so I got a surprise. The box sat in a UPS truck's chilly cargo area & on my porch long enough that I came home to a completely frozen oil. The bottle & oil survived w
ithout any spillage, mess, or breakage. If I hadn't known it had frozen, I wouldn't have any clue from the oil's post-thawed appearance, consistency & taste.

My most recent order of this excellent olive oil was thrown into a big box along with a 25 pound bag of sunflower seeds. It wasn't broken but it was seriously deformed. (Have posted a pic, hope it came thru.) In future I will order this all by itself to avoid the problem.

Nice Olive Oil, Good Flavor

May 7, 2016

This is a nice olive oil with good flavor. I often use it as the fat in homemade bread; it's also great to dress up brussels sprouts: Par-boil the sprouts (fresh or frozen) and drain, coat the bottom of the pan with olive oil, add some minced garlic and saute for a minute, then add the sprouts and cook for about 3 minutes, adding pepper and a little salt, if desired. Bacon bits make them over-the-top good! I don't notice any flavor difference between this and the same brand olive oil which isn't labeled organic, but this is $2 more expensive. If you insist on organic, then that's probably a fair price to pay.

I've been using this for several years and know I've always liked it, but I was very surprised by how much I like it and prefer it when I performed some recent taste tests. I grew up having a lot of high-quality Greek olive oil, and Kalamata olives are by far my favorites, so I did not expect to prefer this oil blended from different types of olives from different regions. I am pretty sure there are olive oils out there that I'd like even better, but, for the price, I think this is really great. It has a distinct olive flavor and buttery quality that lingers, maybe because the finish isn't very peppery. For possible health concerns, I would prefer if it were packed in glass, though plastic is undoubtably easier to handle. You'll get the best price buying directly at Costco. I bought this for a family member who doesn't live near one. It's still a very good value.

This is a very robust olive oil at a great price. The flavor is very strong and almost peppery. It is a great all purpose olive oil and delicious for bread dipping. The only drawback is that it is packaged in plastic. I saved some glass bottles from another brand of olive oil and I decant the Kirkland olive oil into those bottles. I have repurchased this several times and will continue to do so.

We have probably bought 6 to 8 of these over the past years. Recently, we started noticing that they are rancid. They leave a really harsh taste in the back of your tongue.Read more

Pure undiluted olive oil, that's very important.

This is pure undiluted olive oil. As we know, almost all olive oils sold in the grocery stores have been diluted.Read more
